Avery Lynch Reveals New Single & Video, "Dead to Me"

Rising pop singer-songwriter Avery Lynch continues her unstoppable momentum with the release of her emotionally charged new single, “Dead to Me,” out today via RECORDS. The track arrives alongside a striking music video directed by Gus Black, which will be out later today. Following standout singles like “think about it” and “the boys who don’t know what they want,” “Dead to Me” further sets the tone for Avery’s upcoming project, due out in September 2025.

"Dead to Me" finds Avery at her most vulnerable, delivering lyrics that feel ripped straight from the pages of her diary. The track opens with wistful piano, setting the stage for her soft-spoken yet emotionally charged vocals as she grapples with the surreal feeling of losing someone who was once so close. As she explains, "'Dead to Me' is about a very close relationship I had with someone that I don’t know anymore. It’s about missing that person but coming to terms with how the version of them that I knew no longer exists. There’s comfort in knowing we’ve both changed, but it’s also strange and surreal to reflect on.”

With its raw, confessional tone and bittersweet honesty, every lyric feels deeply personal while striking a universal chord with anyone who’s experienced the ache of growing apart. Co-producing the track gave Avery the freedom to shape its sound, transforming nostalgia and heartache into something beautifully cathartic and widely resonant.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Avery’s musical journey began at the age of 7, composing piano pieces before evolving into songwriting. Now based in Los Angeles, her signature sound—lush, melancholic piano arrangements paired with her soft, expressive vocals—has become the foundation of her artistry. Every song begins with Avery at her piano, crafting intimate, emotionally rich demos that she later refines with her trusted collaborators. Her voice, tender yet deeply evocative, breathes life into her lyrics, making each song feel like a personal confession.

Often described as a "happy girl filled with sad songs," Avery's music is a masterclass in storytelling, inspired by her life experiences, the world around her, and the media she consumes. With praise from tastemakers like Ones To Watch and EARMILK, and a rapidly growing fanbase that’s helped her surpass 400 million streams, Avery continues to showcase her gift for turning raw emotion into intimate, relatable, and quietly captivating songs.
